    He stepped down as Renault team boss after the Crashgate scandal, in which Nelson Piquet Jr. had to deliberately park his car in the wall to help Alonso to victory.

    Interesting choice of words

      I would say that is a pretty good choice of words. I like the use of the word parked.

    I think Newey is wise enough to get nowhere near Flavio.

        Flavio will go anywhere he can to get back in.

        Ah yes, the guy who famously left an F1 team because he wanted to have a say in driver choice would now go to a team where the owner’s mediocre son has a permanent seat, no discussion. Sure.

        Flavio is the only person the FIA banned for life. A few years later, he convinced them. that they didn’t mean it.

          Sound like peak Flavio. I can’t exactly why but he just sound like a con man every time I hear him speak. I guess the multitude convictions of fraud and confidence schemes just gets imbued in the voice.

          Is it weird how The Apprentice attracts conmen to be the star. Who would have guessed that Alan Suger would be the good guy in the group.
